A major road into Dublin city centre was shut off for nearly three hours on Sunday afternoon after the discovery of two suspicious devices, while the All-Ireland club finals played out in nearby Croke Park. Officers from the Defence Forces Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team were called to the scene where a suspicious device had been discovered in the North Strand area of the city, close to the historic Five Lamps, at 1.30pm.
